You’re original post said:
and got primal on everything but my bow, rings and my captain crunches
which is what I questioned. I miscounted though (to be fair to me, I am getting old and my math is now starting to suck lol). Primals not on rings, weapon and captains crunch would be 5 (2 for rings, 2 for CCR and 1 for weapon). 13 item slots, so that means you had 8 primals.
homerjnick is typically in the top 5 HC (monk) players consistently since s10. I think he knows what he’s doing. Myself, I ranked 14th in s13, 12th in s14, 12th in s15 (SC, PS4), until Blizzard changed things with the impale build that just empowered group players even more. homer has been helping players both on these forums and Sony PS4 forums for years…he has an extensive knowledge of D3 (please forgive him for disliking DHs though!).
Primals are roughly 1 in 400 drop rate. That’s just to get a primal. There are roughly 350 legendary and set items in the game, with most of them having a higher RNG tiered drop rate than popular core items. The chances of getting a primal for your build are pretty minimal, it can happen, but you have to be very lucky. I got 4 this season - elusive ring, CoE, shadow gloves and TP ammy. The CoE ring was useless for me, even though it rolled perfectly as I ran with aughilds variant of s6, shadow gloves and tp ammy both rolled crap (surprise, surprise!) and were never used (they both dropped on the last day of s19). So, effectively 1 useful primal for my build. And I had a brilliant season when it comes to primals dropping. So, getting 8, is pretty unlikely as I originally stated, and it’s why I mentioned dashboarding in my original reply. I guess if you don’t worry about stats, then it’s a bit more possible (not much though). A well rolled ancient is far better usually though, and easier to have drop during a season.
I don’t GR grind as many do, I try and play D3 for fun, and GR grinding is not fun in my eyes. i still spend a lot of blood shards though and I think I got 1 primal from Kadala in s19 (Bombardier’s rucksack if my memory serves me). That is pretty similar to most other seasons since s10 (sometimes I get 2 primals from Kadala, but it’s typically 1).
You made a comment re: primals that experienced players such as myself and homer find rather unusual. I guess, you could be super, super, super lucky and it could happen, but excuse us for thinking dashboarding, since it is rampant on both consoles.
